The theme for the past week for me have been 'Keeping My Thoughts in Check'. A lot of in life is controlled by our thoughts, I can be overthinking things, making terrible assumptions or making up what-ifs. They don't do any good and cause unnecessary worry, depression and general negative feelings. It also causes me to fall into temptation.
Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things."
Friday, no CG but suppose to have dinner in some spanish restaurant, was really full so we went to a japanese restaurant next door. Just 4 of us though. Played a lot of God of War until very late.
Saturday, got out of bed a little late, but generally just enjoyed my day watching anime, and playing God of War. It started raining like crazy in the later afternoon, my area flooded a little, but I still had to go out for company dinner. At the dinner, I tried laying low, it worked and I didn't have to interact much with my drunk colleagues, except right at the end when one of them turned his focus on me, I entertained him anyway. I mostly just kept my boss's kid company, he's a nice kid.
On Sunday, went to church, after church had lunch at QianQiu, nothing out of the ordinary. After lunch, I went home and continue playing more GoW.
Monday(ytd) was Monday as usual.

Summer's gotten much warmer
Seems like I've been randomly spending money without really realising it, I've already depleted my withdrawal for this month. Some notes of where my money went:
My cousin from Melbourne visited me on Tuesday, I decided to treat him to dinner.
I bought a drawing tablet, God of War(just arrived ytd), that Muji shirt, and probably ate pricy food...
It was another slow week, I finished my games, so I didn't had much to do in my free time. Occasionally played Starbound, or just surf the web.
Friday was CG as usual, had chicken dinner. But Saturday was particularly awful, I really had nothing to do, I fired up some old steam games, but I was already done with them and it brought nothing new. I finally played AkibaStrip which had been in my backlog for quite some time, but it wasn't a fun game... I'm not sure how i made it through the day, out of the extreme boredom I spontaneously bought a ticket to see Skyscraper in a nearby cinema around dinner time.
Sunday was all right though, after church, I suggested we go to Global Harbour for lunch, after lunch we spent time at the arcade, which was a lot of fun.
Monday came and I finally got the motivation to book accommodation for my upcoming Sapporo trip. I also checked out the map and familiarised myself a little with the public transport.
It was a real rough week, I kept putting off things I needed to do and I just didn't want to do anything at all, all the free time also made me think too much and made myself sad. I struggled a lot with temptation this week too. I live in the house of the Lord now, a King has made a home for me in His castle.

A cool summer so far
This week, work continues in the office, no events yet. Being in the office makes the day feels long, so I have to change how I feel and I need to adapt better.
To summarise my work in the office this week, there were mainly 3 things I did: Preparing a PPT of our company staff's CV for coming events; Drawing resolution diagrams for ChongQing event; And fooling around with AutoCAD exercises.
In my free time after work, it's the usual, I caught up on some new seasonal anime, and played mostly A Hat in Time and Starbound. I've also finally finished Trails in the Sky SC.
Friday we had CG at Helen's place.
Saturday, had a relaxing day, started my day nice and slow. After a while, I got back to playing Hat in Time until dinner time. Went out for dinner for a change, stopped by the ATM, ate at Ajisen, then bought a few things at Carrefour. Had art inspiration during dinner. When I got home, I started drawing King Evan as Punished Snake, I felt that the two games operate in very similar ways.
Served on Sunday Church this week. Had an amazing lunch at Mocha Bros. Bought a shirt at Muji.
I also just bought a drawing tablet for the lulz. Hope it's good.

Forgetting again
Last week, was well...
Work as a whole was slow this week, there wasn't really much to do from Mon to Thu, I only remembered I compiled photos of recent events and sometimes draw plans of out warehouse. On Fri, outta nowhere I was told had to come earlier than usual because clients were coming over and I'm needed for standby. Our company was demonstrating different types of LED screens, seems they didn't test all the videos, some of them were not the right format and didn't play.
On Sat, there was a seminar at the church office, I arrived a little late. It was about being Unshaken, and the seminar center around the story of Joseph and his brothers, from the book of Genesis.
I spent a lot of my free time playing Ni No Kuni 2, I've just finished it but left out some endgame side quests which were a bit too demanding for items only obtainable by dungeon crawling very very deep inside.
Even after God delivered the Israelites from their enemies, they still forgot God.
Seems like I forgot my own advice in the last post. (I've forgotten many important things in life as well.) I spent too much time staring at screens. I have to be careful I don't regret anything before the year ends.

2018, 1-out-of-2
The second half of the year has now begun.
Over the past week was the MWCS that happened over...
27th (We) - The first day of the event, a bit of hiccup at the beginning, but nothing serious. I didn't had much to do but standby during the whole event, so I spent time walking around the exhibition, the nearby mall, occasionally listen in to their talks, and played a lot of Trails in the Sky.
28th (Th) - Same as the day before, but that evening, I went to Henry's place to do CG core meeting (forgot to bring my PSV).
29th(fr) - Last day, I discovered they had wifi the whole time... so I spent my free time catching up on WWE. That evening was combined CG, seems like we weren't allowed to do regular CG things, so we just had buffet and games.
Long awaited weekend...
30th (Sa) - I somehow agreed to go to the AmCham Independence Day celebration with some CG members... It was raining the whole time I was there, the food was disappointing, it was pretty expensive too. Regret. Got to relax the rest of the day at home. Burnt out!
Jul 1st (Su) - Church as usual, but I was late... South East Asian lunch (delish), and just played Ni No Kuni 2 the rest of the day.
Thoughts: After a super busy June, I should spend this week collecting my thoughts and realign myself to focus on what's important. I have to careful about wasting too much time on the screen too. I've got some serious cleaning to do first...
